- Calling inspector:toggle from a keybind when it's already open crashes the terminal #732
I acknowledge that:
- I have reviewed the FAQ and confirm that my issue is NOT among them.
- I have searched the Ghostty repository (both open and closed Discussions and Issues) and confirm this is not a duplicate of an existing issue or discussion.
- I have checked the "Preview" tab on all text fields to ensure that everything looks right, and have wrapped all configuration and code in code blocks with a group of three backticks (
```) on separate lines.
